The Cabrillo Playhouse in the heart of beautiful San Clemente.
This pint-sized community theater features plays, variety shows, concerts & more in a cozy space.
We have had season tickets since 2023.
The first play in 2025 was Next to Normal.
From the outside, the Goodmans seem like a typical suburban family: Diana (Cindy Mendez) the mom, Dan (Jon Korbonski) the dad, and the kids, Gabe (Braxton McGrath) and Natalie (Sammy Spiegler).
However, we soon learn the Goodmans have not been a happy family in quite some time, as Diana has been suffering from mental illness. This has led to Natalie feeling neglected,
Dan struggling to hold the family together, and Gabe… Let’s just say there is a lot to unpack with Gabe.
Before the play we went to the nearby Beachfire Bar and Grill.
Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" has enchanted audiences for centuries with its magical blend of love, mischief, and fantasy.
This year, the Cabrillo Playhouse is reimagining the classic with a vibrant twist, setting the tale amid the sultry, mysterious backdrop of 1920s New Orleans.
In what is becoming a tradition we went to the nearby Beachfire Bar and Grill.
